Calf muscle strain and Achilles tendon injuries are common in many sports. For the treatment of muscular tendinous injuries, one newer approaches sports medicine is capacitive-resistive electric transfer therapy. Our objective was to analyze this vitro, using invasive temperature measurements cadaveric specimens.A cross-sectional study designed with five fresh frozen cadavers (10 legs) were included study. Four interventions (capacitive resistive modes; low- high-power) performed for 5 min...

Cervical pain is the biggest musculoskeletal health problem in industrialised countries. There an important association between this and decrease range of motion.Estimate validity reliability intra inter examiner two Smartphone apps regarding measurement lower upper cervical spine motion subjects with chronic pain.A cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted 25 pain. An made a using CROM device as gold standard, afterwards, another did same Smartphone, order to establish...

The upper limb neurodynamic test 1 is used in the diagnosis of median nerve neuropathies such as carpal tunnel syndrome but its diagnostic validity remains limited. Neurodynamic sequencing has been suggested to increase specificity tests, however, date, information on accuracy this variation testing required.

Background: Flexion-rotation test predominantly measures rotation in C1-2 segment. Restriction flexion-rotation may be due to direct limitation C1-2, but also a premature tightening of the alar ligament as result lack movement C0-1 or C2-3. The aim this study was compare effect 20-min single cervical exercise session, with without manual therapy and C2-3 segment test, patients chronic neck pain positive test. Methods: Randomized controlled clinical trial 48 subjects (24 therapy+exercise/24...

Objective . To identify adherence to Mediterranean diet among two groups of Spanish adults: diabetic patients and nondiabetic subjects. Methods Adherence was measured by a 14-item screener (scale: 0–14; ≤5: low, 6–9: moderate, ≥10: high) in 351 volunteers.

Abstract Background Impingement syndrome is currently estimated to represent 60% of all shoulder pain disorders. Capacitive-Resistive electric transfer therapy aimed provoke temperature and current flow changes in superficial deep tissues. This vitro study has evaluated the variation tissues during two different areas application movable capacitive-resistive electrode. Methods A cross-sectional designed, five fresh cryopreserved cadavers (10 shoulders) were included this study. Four...

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects mobilization C0-C1 and C7-T1 applied asymptomatic individuals with reduced upper cervical rotation during FRT. Design: parallel randomized controlled trial. 48 subjects(38.52 years±15.13) C1-C2 hypomobility in TFR joined were into three groups(C0, C7, control group). FRT both directions was measured before after intervention. C0 intervention consisted a dorsal translatoric neutral position. C7 ventral cranial C7- T1 position group...

Background Manual therapy appears to be effective for the relief of tension-type headache (TTH), just as diacutaneous fibrolysis (DF) has shown a beneficial technique symptoms in other dysfunctions. However, no studies have evaluated potential effect DF TTH. The aim this study is analyze three sessions patients with Methods Randomized controlled trial 86 subjects (43 intervention/ 43 control group). frequency, intensity, pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) at trapeziometacarpal joint, upper...

Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain includes a wide variety of causes and conditions. Despite the heterogeneity MSK pain, it is possible to identify some common clinical features treatments. Heat therapy (HT) one most could be suitable non-pharmacological approach.

Tightness or lack of flexibility several muscles the thigh has been associated with patellofemoral joint pain. A tight iliotibial band can lead to laterally located patella and an abnormal patellar tracking pattern. Diacutaneous fibrolysis (DF) is commonly used reduce muscle tightness, but no studies have evaluated effects this technique in treatment patients pain syndrome.To assess effect DF on position syndrome.A single-group, pretest-posttest clinical trial.University Zaragoza.A total 46...

Diacutaneous fibrolysis is a noninvasive technique that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders such as shoulder pain, lateral epicondylalgia, patellofemoral pain syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome. However, while diacutaneous applied soft tissue, its effects on muscular properties are unknown. The purpose present study was evaluate muscle measured by tensiomyography myotonometry asymptomatic subjects. An analytical descriptive performed. A single...

Lateral elbow tendinopathy, or “tennis elbow,” is a pathology that affects around 1.3% of the general population. Capacitive–resistive electric transfer therapy aims to provoke temperature and current flow changes in superficial deep tissues. The aim this vitro study was analyze thermal behavior transmission on tissues during application different modalities capacitive–resistive treatment protocol for chronic tendinopathy. A cross-sectional designed; five fresh cryopreserved cadavers (10...

Introduction Physiotherapy is a common treatment used for cervicogenic dizziness (CD). Treatment of the cervical spine using manual therapy techniques shows moderate evidence in favor its use. International criteria have been described. Detecting patients' contraindications most important safety consideration. and recommendations described, as well criteria. A safe traction-manipulation intervention protocol therefore possible. However, effects this on intensity dizziness-related disability...

Objective To assess the relationship between static frontal knee alignment in asymptomatic subjects and flexibility of main muscles functionally related to knee. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed 33 healthy adults (19–31 years). The angle (valgus/varus angle) measured by photogrammetry it lateral side. Therefore, high values were assigned for genu varum low valgum. Iliopsoas, gluteus maximus medius, rectus femoris, biceps vastus quadriceps, gastrocnemius stretched....

Ultrasonography is a tool that has advanced great deal in the diagnosis of neural compressive pathologies, such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). In order to plan treatment it important establish severity pathology, which means would be know capacity ultrasonography determine extent median nerve compromised at this level.To investigate correlation between ultrasound measurements and electrophysiological patients with CTS.Ultrasound were performed 59 subjects (97 wrists) who referred have an...

Localized and widespread hyperalgesia has been observed in patients with patellofemoral pain.
